It was Svitolina’s fifth WTA Tour title of the season.

The 22-year-old Ukrainian used powerful groundstro­kes and a big serve to keep the sixth-ranked Wozniacki off balance.

A break at love at 4-4 gave the fifth-ranked Svitolina the edge in the first set. She wasn’t threatened again in the 77-minute match.

Svitolina had a clear edge from the baseline thanks to her impressive retrieving ability. Wozniacki was forced to go for more winners and started making more unforced errors as a result. Krzyzewski had knee-replacemen­t surgery Sunday.

Team spokesman Cory Walton said the procedure on Krzyzewski’s right knee was performed by Dr. Michael Bolognesi at Duke’s hospital.

Bolognesi said the surgery went “very smoothly,” and doctors hoped to have the Hall of Fame coach walking later in the day.

He’s expected to be released within three days to begin a rehabilita­tion program at Duke.

The surgery led Duke to cancel the exhibition trip to the Dominican Republic that was scheduled to begin this week.

Krzyzewski has had both of his knees replaced in the past 17 months, with six total surgeries in that span.
